Our medium sized company created a simple policy in early 2016 -

No religion - no politics in the office.

I never dreamed that policy would pay dividends so profoundly. The distraction of having activists within your company trying to actively pressure the company via public channels - I mean it's almost unbelievable that this is the new norm. ...an I am so very thankful we seemed to have sidestepped it.

Don't celebrate too early. It took less than 5 years for this 'thing' to go from college campuses to big companies... What will you do when a twitter mob comes for your company because you're "oppressing your workers ability to speak out about injustice and human rights" or "remaining silent, which is violence"?

This is the real threat we should all be talking about. It’s so sad to me that it’s barely discussed. These new religions and their witch hunts are great at silencing discussions out of fear.

An explicit decision to be apolitical is itself a political decision.

And? You're not responding to anything the parent said, you're just spouting Marxist dogma.

The perceived overreach of political correctness is a vast area of discourse, especially on the right.

...which means it's hardly mentioned in the MSM
